To review, the other 3 components of a light plan:
Task Lighting: Track, recessed and undercounter lighting designed as the backbone of your lighting plan.
Accent: Designed to highlight objects
Decorative: Chandeliers and wall sconces designed to personalize the space. Decorative adds light, but is secondary to task for overall illumination.
This brings us to a forgotten, yet important element of your plan, Ambient lighting. Ambient provides pleasant(weak word, but I am just returned from the red eye), environmental lighting. It has been called the "roaring fire" by lighting designers.
I prefer to call it "uplighting" or fixtures, which light the ceiling. Pendants and semi-flushes can provide ambient lighting...Cove lighting. can achieve the same result as well
Let me show you a few applications...
You are confused? Just remember a pendant, for example, can provide decorative and ambient functions.
